Sixth annual event series designed to educate and celebrate all things cider around the state and beyond

PORTLAND – (February 1, 2017) – The Northwest Cider Association announces the sixth annual Oregon Cider Week, celebrating all things cider between June 15-25, 2017. This 11-day celebration invites everyone, from cider makers to chefs, to showcase Northwest cider in a variety of special events, featured menus, happy hours, tap takeovers and more. Oregon Cider Week’s largest event provides a chance to sample more than 150 selections from around the world at Cider Summit Portland on June 16-18.

This highlight event is then followed by a bevy of beverage bashes, ranging from educational “how-to” workshops at Oregon Museum of Science & Technology (OMSI), to a cider bike tour around Portland, and so much more. On average, Oregon Cideries work together to coordinate over 100 cider-themed events throughout the state of Oregon.

Founded in 2010, the Northwest Cider Association (NWCA) brings cideries and cider lovers together to learn, experience and enjoy the Northwest cider culture. Representing more than 70 commercial cidermakers from throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia, the group is dedicated to supporting, promoting and growing this thriving industry. NWCA hosts cider-themed events including Cider Rite of Spring, Summer Cider Day, and Cider Weeks in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.
